Should I evolve based on CP or IV?
It depends. IV corresponds to max CP. So if you evolve the eevee with higher CP then it will also have higher CP post evolution, but it’s maximum CP will be lower. If you plan on pumping lots of stardust/candies into this pokemon then you should choose the higher IV with the higher max.
Is it better to evolve Pokémon with higher CP?
CP, or Combat Points, is a measure of how effective your Pokémon is in battle. … It pays to keep and evolve only the best Pokémon you find. In general, you want higher CP Pokémon to evolve over lower CP Pokémon, but just because a Pokémon has a high CP doesn’t mean it’s actually very good.
Is it better to max out a Pokémon before evolving?
Opt to evolve your pokemon to its final stage before investing Stardust into powering up. Every time you level up, you increase the max CP of all your pokemon. This means in a few levels from now, you’ll likely find a wild pokemon with a much higher CP, precluding the need to power up your current pokemon.
Is it worth keeping low CP Pokemon?
If it is low, it isn’t worth keeping, unless it’s the only one you have for that species. If it is high, I recommend keeping it, as it has a high potential.
What’s more important IV or CP?
As explained by RustyMembers the IV is by far more important than the CP of a Pokemon. But actually equally or sometimes even more important is the Moveset of a Pokemon. A Pokemon with the best moveset dps wise but with lower IV will perform better than a similar one with a different moveset but higher IV %.
Should I evolve a low CP but high IV Pokemon?
This does mean that a Pokemon with a high CP can have terrible IVs and vice-versa. While high CP Pokemon don’t need to be leveled up as much (they are closer to their maximum level) they can still be weak. Conversely, a Pokemon with a low CP can have perfect IV values.
Is there any benefit to not evolving Pokemon?
One benefit of delaying evolution is that unevolved Pokémon often learn powerful attacks earlier than their subsequent evolutions. Some evolved Pokémon also lose the ability to learn certain attacks. See our Pokédex for information on the Levels at which Pokémon learn their attacks.
